Bring Arden to You

Production

“Arden/Everywhere” offers a unique experience that connects the too-often overlooked stories of refugees and immigrants with a beloved classic play. It provides refugees and immigrants who have a desire to perform with an opportunity to express themselves, regardless of previous experience. It creates a community of audience members from diverse experiences and backgrounds. In addition to the show itself, it can provide a jumping off place for a range of community engagement experiences: theater workshops, post-play talkbacks, potlucks and shared meals, outreach and political engagement around refugee issues.

Workshops / Education

Director Jessica Bauman is available to work with your community in a variety of ways: public conversations and presentations on Shakespeare and the refugee crisis; workshops for actors or teachers focused on exploring classical text; creating devised theater pieces based on the experiences of your community members. She has worked with people of all ages and experience, from English language learners to university students to refugees in a camp.
